Movie Star Mystery Photo

Los Angeles Times file photo Update: This is Sharon Lynn. Please congratulate Nick Santa Maria, Dewey Webb, Gregory Moore, Annie Frye, Mary Mallory and R. Ahuna for correctly identifying her. Nick, who was first, explains that he's a big Laurel and Hardy fan. This photo is from "Sunnyside Up," 1929. Just a reminder on how this works: I post the mystery photo on Monday and reveal the answer on Friday. To keep the mystery photo from getting lost in the other entries, I move it from Monday to Tuesday to Wednesday, etc., adding a photo every day. I have to approve all comments, so if your guess is posted immediately, that means you're wrong. (And if a wrong guess has already been submitted by someone else, there's no point in submitting it again). If you're right, you will have to wait until Friday. There's no need to submit your guess five times. Once is enough. The only prize is bragging rights. The answer to last week's photo: Pauline Garon. Check back next week for another mystery photo! 
Here's another picture of our mystery woman. Isn't she great? Update: This is Sharon Lynn in "Happy Days." 
OK, here's the mystery woman with a companion. Update: Frank Albertson and Sharon Lynn in "Wild Company." | ||||

Curse you! I am beginning to doubt my silent-movie-ID'ing skills.

I suppose I should say "Theda Bara!" and "Clara Bow!" just to get it out of the way, so no one else has to.
(Yes, I know she's not Theda Bara or Clara Bow--I am just providing a public service)

I think it must be Bette Davis.

That's Mary Pickford. She was like Julia Roberts times a thousand.
